detecting movement vs trim

It shouldn't be hard for the program to determine if the joystick was moved vs having the trim offset. The first time through the code after the autonomous mode is switched off simply save the input to a variable and check to see if the input matches the stored variable each successive time through the loop. If it is different then the joystick was moved. Also you might want to only allow for the initial variable to be in a certain range(like 120-134) that way if the driver has the joysticks moved before autonomous mode is turned off the program knows it isn't just a trim value. As far as accidentle bumps go, you could easily program a button to send it back into autonomous mode.
